horrible absolutely horrendous. no facility, bathrooms broken, severely understaffed. very little equipment for entertainment at lunch and break. last reviewed in 2019 so they haven't seen the state the school is in right now. I know in the future that they could improve and be better in the next year or so. in conclusion i rate the school a d- and hope they can do better another time.
